So the 2024 election was legal? Tell us G, what determines that? Who wins?

as Speaker Johnson pointed out, "It's ironic that they are holding a no kings protest while the government is shut down. If Trump was actually a king, the government would be open right now."

First off beej, have you heard of time zones? Second, did you see my post from five hours ago, when I was having coffee? Some of us don't live on the forum 24/7 awaiting our next beej BJ.

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

QuoteAs of Oct. 17, 2017, the Real Clear Politics polling average on the generic congressional ballot showed a 9-point lead by Democrats. That lead continued over the next year, and Democrats gained 40 seats in the House – giving them control of that chamber. This Oct. 17, things don't look quite so rosy. The same RCP average shows that Democrats are only up by 1.6 points.

While Trump's average approval is slightly higher – in the mid-40s – than it was during his first term, the same isn't true for Democrats.

Earlier this year, the party scored its lowest positive rating – 27% – in the history of NBC News' poll. And even though Republicans aren't wildly popular, either, they continue to outscore Democrats. In 2017, the Democrats had the advantage.
(And as an aside, for the liberals who like to point and laugh at Trump's approval rating, some perspective is in order. Since the end of July, Trump's second-term approval is higher than that of former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush at the same time during their second terms.)
